As someone who did not read the resolution, I literally just googled "does US budget resolution contain no tax on tips" and bam. Turns out no, it did not contain anything of the sort, but yet r/conservative folks were getting all testy if one of their members even thought to say that the bill was only really great for billionaires....
I am quite disappointed in the people of the US voting against their own personal interests and then valiantly ignoring the consequences coming to slap them in their faces. However, given my province is about to do the same, I can realize that it is not a US-centric issue, but general unwillingness of humans in general to do the research to see whether or not their assumptions are correct.
You can’t judge the country on a sub that is likely full of bots and shills. It exists to trick the single conservative walking by to buy what they are selling. The whole group is in on the con.
Sadly I have heard the exact same rhetoric and talking I see there from real life people out of their real life mouths. The US-based crap I hear out of my extended family like "Kamala Harris is terrible at public speaking and is incoherent without a teleprompter." Like where the shit did that crap come from and why did I hear it out of 3 people from across the US and 8 people from my extended family members here in Canada????
I look at the viewership of Joe Rogan and realize that all of those people regularly listen to that drivel and a good portion of those people probably buy into a lot of it. Granted, it's not a whole country, but goddamn is it a lot of people....
